Saved by Sesshomaru

Ch.8

"So did you have fun last night my Lord?" Khan is sitting with Sesshomaru in his study.

"Are you trying to imply that something happened?"

"Maaaybe."

"Get your mind out of the gutter, you twisted freak."

"It wasn't in the gutter yet! Give me some credit! Geez!"

"Keyword being yet."

"Well? Did you have fun spending time with Lady Kagome or not."

"It was fine." -You loved it! Stop lying to yourself! You SHUT UP! I don't have feeling for anyone. Except Kagome. BEAT IT! No way! She's admitted that she likes you. Why can't you do the same for her? GO AWAY YOU ANNOYING LITTLE COCKROACH!-

"I TOLD you that you LIKED her!" Khan starts dancing around. "Oh yeah! What now bitches! I was right! I knew it! I win!"

"Shut the fuck up you damn wolf!"

"You L-I-K-E her! You L-O-V-E her! –"

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" If it had not been reality, smoke would be steaming out of Sesshy's ears.

"I should go check on Lady Kagome, bye!" Khan slips out of the room, where a very pissed off Sesshomaru is losing his temper. Khan walks into Kagome's room, trying not to laugh. "Ready to walk my Lady?"

"I guess I don't really have a choice. I have to fix the damage you've caused." She glares at him.

"I'm perfectly harmless."

"To me, not to Sesshy."

"But he's just too much fun to harass."

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Just get over here and help me walk."

"Yes my Lady." He steadies her as she starts to fall over, being very unbalanced. "Ready?"

"Yes, just don't let go till we get to his study."

"Yes my Lady." Khan keeps a firm but gentle grip on Kagome's arm as the proceed to walk through the hallways to Sesshomaru's study. The unsuspecting Sesshy is still fuming.

"What the fuck is that damn wolf's problem? What the hell could he possibly gain form pissing me off? That bastard!" He looks over at the door, hearing it open. Kagome slowly walks in, shutting the door behind her. Sesshomaru's eyes go wide as he sees her. "Kagome… what are you doing here?" he walks over to her.

"I'm visiting you, duh."

"You're supposed to be in bed! You're not fully healed yet!"

"What's your point Sesshy?"

"… nothing."

"Liar."

"…fine. I'm worried about you." He mumbles.

"What? I'm sorry, I didn't hear that."

"I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOU DAMN IT!"

"Now we're getting somewhere. It's a start."

"Happy now?"

"Content."

Sesshy sighs and picks her up. He walks over and sits in his chair,holding Kagome in his lap. "Are you happy now?"

"… yes."

"Good." He starts shuffling through papers with his free hand.

"What are you doing?"

"I have one free hand, I can still do paperwork."

"Is your paperwork more important to you?"

"At the moment, not really. It just needs to get done." He stops, realizing what he said. –Yes! We've made progress! Be quiet!-

"Good because this isn't paperwork Sesshy." She picks up a paper with a pencil sketch of her on it from under some books. "Now I wonder what this would be for?" She teases him. "Drawing eye candy for yourself?"

"No! Give me that!" He takes it from her and throws it into a draw. "I have no idea where that came from!"

"Then why was your name signed to the bottom of the paper?"

"…" –Oh shit. Now I have to think of a valid excuse. Why don't you just tell her the truth stupid? No fucking way! She'd kill me! To find out that you unconsciously ended up drawing that because you were thinking of her? She loves you, you moron! The worst she could do is leave. But I don't want her to leave…-

"Well?" Kagome looks up at him curiously.

"I missed you." What the fuck! HA! I win! You dipshit! Look what you did! I'm so proud of you.-

"… really? You mean that?"

-What the hell is your problem! What am I supposed to do now? Trust me.- "Yes." He whispers. –ARE YOU SUICIDAL? YOU INSANE PSYCO FREAK! YOU'RE GOING TO GET ME BITCH SLAPPED! Shh, quiet. Listen.-

"…"

-SHE'S GOING TO KILL ME! AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! Shut up.-

Kagome nearly knocks the chair over, almost tackling Sesshy. She hugs him, a death grip showing that she isn't going to free him anytime soon. "I love you Sesshy."

-She loves me?-

-Yes you stupid brain-dead youki!-

-What do you want now Khan?-

-Nothing. Just wanted to say congrats on FINALLY figuring out that you and Lady Kagome love each other. Is that ok my Lord?-

-Whatever.-

-Well, I'll leave you two alone, bye.-

"You… love me?"

"Yes Sesshy. I've loved you since I met you, I just didn't know what it was. I realized it the day you left. After you came to say good bye."

"I'm sorry I've been so stupid." He unconsciously runs his fingers threw her long hair. "I knew you were different from anyone else I've met the day I first saw you. Curiosity got the better of me when your friends left you. I visited you every night, the distance was irrellivant to me. You would sit by a tree and talk; I would sit in the tree and listen. A part of me waited for night to fall so I could see you again. I squashed it, hiding it in fear of showing weakness. Since you've been here that feeling has become stronger. I can't get any work done because I'm too busy thinking about you."

"Sesshy…"

"Kagome, I love you." He summons up any courage he can muster, and kisses her passionately.

(Elsewhere in the castle.)

"Well that's settled." Khan stares up at the ceiling of his room, laying on his bed. "That problem is solved." He smirks. "And about time too. I started to think that I would have to wack Sesshomaru over the head with a metal bat; not that I would mind. Now all he has to do is ask her to be his mate and we'll have an official Lady of the Western Lands. Man, I hope he doesn't screw that up. How embarrassing would that be, trying to ask someone to be your mate and having the words come out wrong? That would suck."

(Back in Sesshy's study.)

"Kagome… will you…" –How the hell are you supposed to ask someone the ultimate question? You calm down and simply ask her. I'll fucking scare her! Not if you ask nicely.- "Will you be my mate?" He stammers.

"What?"

"Would you do me the honor of being my mate?"

"…"

"Please Kagome? I don't want you to ever leave my side."

"I will never leave you Sesshy, I love you. I would be very happy to be your mate."

"Are you sure that's what you really want Kagome? You'd be with me forever, mates can never be permanently separated from each other."

"There's no one else I'd rather be with."

"Very well." He picks her up. "We shall fix that." He carries her out of the study and too his room. He shuts the door and makes sure it's locked. –Khan if we are disturbed before noon tomorrow then you'll be one dead wolf.-

-Yes sir, good night my Lord.-

"I love you Sesshy."

"I love you too, Kagome."

(The next day.)

"Where do you think you're going Jakken?"

"I'm going to see my Lord. Step away from the door Khan."

"No, I think not. Why don't you find something else to do."

"I can speak to my Lord whenever I want! MOVE!"

"Absolutely not. Sesshomaru is not to be disturbed until noon."

"Why the hell not?"

"If you must know, though I think it's none of your business, Sesshomaru is spending some quality time with Lady Kagome."

"He's WHAT?"

"You heard me, now beat it."

"No way! This is WAY more important then that stupid human!"

Khan picks Jakken up by the collar. "Do not say that about Lord Sesshomaru's mate!

"Put me down this instant! Don't you use that tone with me!"

"You're not my mother! You have offended the Lady of the Western Lands, I suggest you apologize."

"I'm sorry! I didn't know!"

"Remember your mistake and don't let me catch you saying something like that again. You hear me toad?"

"Loud and clear Master Khan!"

"Good." He drops Jakken, glaring at him menacingly. "Now git." Jakken takes off immediately for his own safety.
